Whoever they take at 5, he has to start and play right away!!!!!!!!!

Why would he sit?

We need at least a tackle and a guard.

We have reiff and jonah. Both are good enough to play either tackle, or kick in to guard. And who knows if jonah will even play this year.

We take a tackle in the first, that gives us whoever we pick starting across from reiff or jonah, with the other of those two moving in to play guard. Bam, pretty good line. And if one of those three gets injured, we have some flexibility.

Personally, I'd be stoked if we traded back a few spots, got a top tackle and were able to use the extra pick to go guard and receiver in the second.
